I recently moved from a Blackberry to Windows Phone 8. I would like to set up a couple of recurring alarms. One for every other Monday and another for the last day of the month. It was easy to do on my Blackberry, but I can't figure it out with Windows Phone. Is this possible with the stock alarms app?

I don't think Every other Monday or last day of the month is supported by the scheduler. – Conrad Frix Dec 3 '12 at 16:00

If 'Every other Monday' means every Monday from now on, you can do that with the alarm app.

Last day of the month is something that is possible with the calendar app. I created an appointment (in my case I used the web interface of calendar.live.com) and added an reminder for the last day in a month. The appointment has successfully shown up in the phone. Note: unfortunately, the custom entry in the list for creating that series has no functionality. You can do this only using another app or account that syncs those appointments to the phone.

I know this has a feeling of a work-around, but somehow this is also kind of a complex criteria. Note: by work around I mean I need to use the live calendar to create/edit the series, not that I need an appointment. The recurrence is (IMHO) too complex to really name this an alarm. Alarm is more like 'please wake me up, so I don't get too late to work'. – Sascha Dec 3 '12 at 18:22
hmm I read every other Monday as Every Two Weeks. What you described sounded more like Every Monday. Maybe the OP will chime in – Conrad Frix Dec 3 '12 at 22:39
